"ie it knownv that 1, CHARLES A. STOCK srnon, ol'ihe city of St. Louis,in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain. new and usefulImprovement in Gasoline-Stove At t'aehnients, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this SpOClfiCtlidOll, and inwhich- Figure 1 is a top view of a gasoline-stove with my improvementapplied and all the valves of the burners closed. Fig. 2 is a similarview showing two of the valves open. Fig. 3 is a front view of Fig. 2.Fig. .4- is a vertical transverse section taken on line 4 4, Fig. 2.Fig. 5 is a detail perspectit'e view. Fig. (3 is an enlarged detail topView illustrating a modification. Fig. 7 is a vertical section taken online 7 7. Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a similar View taken online 8 S, Fig. (i;and Fig. 9 is a similar view taken on line 9 9, Fig. 6. Fig. 10 is anelevation, partly in section, of a form of burner to which myimprovements may be applied.

My invention relates to an attachment to he used on a gasoline-stovehaving a generator and one or more lnirners supplied from the generator;and my invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter t'ullydescribed and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the top plate of agasoline-stove; B, a generator, and O one or more burners supplied fromthe generator in the usual manner-as, for instance, the burner shown inFig. 10. Here the supply of oil from the reservoir is conveyed throughthe supply-pipe 1 to the circular passage 2, extending around the edgeof thelnirner C, from whence it is conveyed by a passage, 4., to thegenerator-valve B, which being opened the oil flowing out is ignited atthe burner. the oil takes place in the generator, the side burners, alsocommunicating with the passage 2 by means of passages 6 (3, are nowready to receive their supply of gas which is allowed to flow thereto bythe opening of the valves (JU. I have shown in my present applicationtwo burners C; but one or more than two may be used. The valve C of eachburner is As soon as the vaporization ot' Serial No. 1829175. (Xemodel.)

I provided with an operaiinglever, D, to which it is connected by a rod,.l), as in said application, and the valve lltot' the generator isprovided with an operating-lever, 10.

F represents a slide-platesecured to the top A of the stove b vguide-brackets (i, which permit it to be moved longitiulinally.

ll: represents a rod or barseenred to the top of the stove. This rodpasses through arms or projections .l and l, which are secured to theslide-plate F, the rod acting as a guide to the arms and as asupport tohold them tirm and rigid. The arms .T are close together, as shown inFig. 2, and between tits the lever 1) ot' the generator. They could hemade in one piece slotted to receive the lover. The arms I are locatedon one side of the hrn'ner-levers D, as shown in Fig. It will thus beseen that the movement ot' the lever 15 in the direction shown by thearrow, Fig. 2, to open the valve will move the slide-plate F in thedirection indicated by the arrow, this having no eil'ect upon theburner-valves, either one or both of which is free to be opened, ifdesired. Now, supposing one or both of them to he opened before thegenerator-valve is closed, it will be understood that it or they can beclosed again without operating or al'- feeting the generator-valve; butany attempt to close the generator-valve will close the burner-valves,owing to the arms 11 being forced against the lovers 1.), so that it isthus impossible to close the generator-valve without at the same timeclosing the burner valve or valves. As in devices heretoforeconstructed, the burners getting their supply from the genorator, itwill be appareutthatil' the generatorvalve is shut off, and consequentlydoes not produce any more gas while one or moi-churners are stillburning, gasoline instead of gas will flow from the burner-valves assoon as the generator has cooled down sufiiciently, and cause damage.Another advantage ofthepresent arrangement is thatin case of thegenerator and one or more burners being lighted but not being at fullflame neither of the burner-valves can be opened any farther than thegenerator valve without at the same time opening the latter to the sameextent, thereby insuring an increased production ot' gas at thegenerator to be used by the increased burner flame. I have shown notchesV at the ends of the slots X, in which the levers controlling the valvestravel; (but this isnot any essential part of my present invention.) Aslong as the generatorlever is locked by being pressed into this notch,either of the burnenvalves can be opened.

In the modification shown in Figs. 6, 7, 8, and 9 the valvestemsthat-open the supply to the burner or burners O are connected to thestem of the valve that controls the supply to the generators by pulleysor Wheels L and M and cords or chains N. By this arrangement when thevalve of the generator is turned in the direction indicated by thearrows, Fig. 9, to open it,.it simply loosens the cords or chains N, aswill be readily understood, and does not operate the burner-valves ofthe generator, but leaves them free to be opened, if desired; but shouldthey be opened, the closing of the generator-valve will close them. Onthis modification I have shown a dog or pawl pivoted to the top A of thestove by a short shaft, P, and engaging at its lower end withratchet-teeth S on a disk, 'T, secured to the generator-valve stem. Theobject of this is to prevent any of the valve-stems being openedaccidentally or by children, it being impossible to open it or themwithout first raising the pawl, which may be done by means of ahand-wheel Uon the shaft P. This pawl answers the same purpose as thenotches V in my preferred form.

I- claim as my inw ention- 1. The combination of a gasoline-stove frame,a generator having a jet-orifice, a side burner having a pipe into whichthe gas enters from said jetoriiice, a valve controlling the supply ofgasoline to the generator-burner, a valve controlling the flow of gas tothe side burner, levers or their equivalents connected with said valves,and a device connected to the generatonburner valve-lever and extendingto the side-burner valve-lever and engaging the same upon one side,whereby the gas-valve will be closed when the gasoline-valve is closedand the gasoline-valve opened without opening the gas-valve.

2. The combination ofa gasoline-stoveframe,

a generator having a jet-orifice, a side burner having a pipe into whichthe gas enters from said jet-orifice, a valve controlling the supply ofgasoline to the generator-burner, a valve controlling the flow of gas tothe side burner, levers or their equivalents connected with said valves,a slide-plate having guides, and arms or projections on the slide-platewith which the valve-leversengage.

3. The combination of a gasoline-stove frame, a generator having ajet-orifice, a side burner having a pipe into which the gas enters fromsaid jet-orifice, a valve controlling the supply of gasoline to thegeneratonbmner, a valve controlling the flow of gas to the side burner,levers or their equivalents, connected with said valves, the slidingplate having arms or projections engaged by the valve-levers, and aguide-rod passing through the arms or projections, substantially as andfor the purpose set fort 4. Thecombination of a gasoline-stove frame, agenerator having a jet-orifice, a side burner having a'pipe into whichthe gas enters from said jet-orifice, a valve controlling the supply ofgasoline to the generator-burner, a valve controlling the flow of gas tothe side burner, levers or their equivalents connected with said valves,the sliding plate having armsor projections engaged by the valve-levers,guide brackets, and a guide-rod passing through the arms, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.

5.
